The Bodhisatta, when born as an elephant as related in the Matiposaka Jataka (q.v.), returned to Karandaka after the death of his mother. The hermitage was the residence of five hundred ascetics, and the king, out of regard for the Bodhisatta, looked after them. J.iv.95.

Theravāda is a major branch of Buddhism having the the Pali canon (tipitaka) as their canonical literature, which includes the vinaya-pitaka (monastic rules), the sutta-pitaka (Buddhist sermons) and the abhidhamma-pitaka (philosophy and psychology).
In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: archive.org: TrisastisalakapurusacaritraKaraṇḍaka (करण्डक) refers to “ribs”, according to chapter 1.1 [ādīśvara-caritra] of Hemacandra’s 11th century Triṣaṣṭiśalākāpuruṣacaritra (“lives of the 63 illustrious persons”): a Sanskrit epic poem narrating the history and legends of sixty-three important persons in Jainism.—Accordingly, “as a result of his gift to the Munis [Dhana] became a twin in the Uttarakurus, who have the period of pure happiness present, on the north bank of the river Sītā, to the east of the Jambū tree. There people wish to eat at the end of the fourth day, and have two hundred fifty-six ribs [viz., karaṇḍaka]. They are born as twins, are three gavyūtis tall, live for three palyas, bear children toward the end of life, have slight passions, and are free from self-interest”.
Notes regarding Karaṇḍaka:—The commentators disagree in regard to the exact meaning of the word. In Triṣaṣṭiśalākāpuruṣacaritra 10.I.119, it says Tripṛṣṭha was so named, ‘trikaraṇḍakapṛṣṭhatvāt.’ In Abhidhānacintāmaṇi (Bhav.) 3.359, it says, ‘trayo vaṃśāh pṛṣṭhe ‘sya tripṛṣṭhaḥ,’ so Hem. clearly uses karaṇḍaka as ‘back-bone’ in that case. Here, however, that meaning seems quite impossible. The Praśnavyākaraṇa (15, p. 81a) explains it as ‘pṛṣṭhapārśvāsthikam,’ i.e., ‘rib.’ In another passage (p. 84a) it is defined as ‘pṛṣṭhāstika.’ In the Aupapātikasūtra (10, p. 19a) it is defined as ‘pṛṣṭhavaṃśāsthika,’ which would apparently mean a ‘vertebra,’ and sometimes this interpretation is taken. The Jambūdvīpaprajñapti (21, p. 117b) says, ‘pṛṣṭhakaraṇḍukāni pṛṣṭhavaṃśavarttyunnatāḥ asthikhandāh paṃśulikā ityarthaḥ.’ This might be taken either way, but ‘rib’ seems more probable.
Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, ‘self-reliance’) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
